How long is your "cooldown" between projects? Now that you've finished Submarine Sandwich, are you fed up with stop-motion for the foreseeable future, or have you already set your sight on the next project?

As a backer, I love how Submarine Sandwich turned out! Though initially I felt that Western Spaghetti and Fresh Guacamole offered more "creative surprises" with respects to the transformations the various objects undergo in the film. Submarine basically plays with a single idea (meat slicer transformation) which was nicely executed but isn't as varied. But after rewatching the film over and over, I feel that this is one of the strong points of the film. It's a repeating pattern, but it fits the narrative perfectly. Also, Submarine manages to draw a much more coherent picture, thanks to the authentic set and you as an actor.

This being said, did you intend to try out new directions and techniques with Submarine as opposed to Spaghetti or Guacamole? Do you think you've evolved your storytelling and film-making and will further push into this direction? Or can we expect your future films to fall back to what we know from your earlier work?
